Parents and Friends

Dear families,

It’s hard to believe Term 3 is almost over! It is a busy term with a lot of fun things still to come.

It was wonderful to see the school community gather for the Book Week Parade! Congratulations to the families for helping the children put together their costumes.

We are also looking forward to Athletics Day which is always another great school community event! Particularly thinking of the Grade 6’s with this being their last Athletics Day at St Brendan’s.

Next Friday will be the last donut week – with donuts for sale for $1.00 at lunchtime on Friday 11 September!

Happy Father’s Day to all the father’s and father figures in our school community!

Please contact us by email at parentsandfriends@sbshepparton.vic.gov.au if you have any questions about P&F activities.

Involvement in the P&F and the school community comes in all different forms and doesn't need to be a big time commitment.

If you are interested in becoming a Committee Member – please contact us to have a chat. Being a part of the Committee isn’t a large time commitment and there are no set requirements of a member.

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions/ suggestions.

Register to be a volunteer
